Architecture Notes

This bridge, carrying the A803 over the canal, has undergone restoration and provides access to Kirkintilloch.

The Forth and Clyde Canal Guidebook 1991.

This bridge was originally a swing bridge. It was culverted (NS67SW 46.01) after the closure of the canal, but was re-opened as a bridge in 1990. This concrete structure represents one of the first culvert replacements undertaken in order to assist the resumption of navigation on the canal.

There is a basin just to the W of this bridge, with a launching slip for craft.

H Brown 1997.

This bridge is clearly marked on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Lanarkshire 1864, sheet i).

The basin, however, is not visible on the 1st or 2nd edition maps or the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1990).
